Weymouth pier at sunset by

This photo was taken looking along Weymouth Pier as the sun was setting behind me. The clouds were turning a beautiful shade of red and pink. The sea has been calmed in the photo by using a 13 second exposure at f29. This gave maximum depth of field with a sigma 10-20mm lens set at 16mm. The long exposure was achieved using a 4 stop ND filter. Nikon D300

Being ever so slightly mad I went out to take this pic in my usual shorts and sandles. The actual temp was -4 C and there was quite a chilling wind. ironically my legs were not cold but my hands could hardly feel the camera!! You certainly get noticed in this gear. I was very impressed whenI saw some old friend pulling their GIG (long rowing boat) out of the water having rowed across the bay and back (now that is mad)

I am currently taking lots on photos along gthe Jurasic coast, with a view to having an exhibition and producing a “coffee table” photo book. Many of my existing photos are of the more rugid coast and cliffs but I am keed to include some of the town and village along the coast as well.

The Jurasic coast has world heritage status.
